Chapter 339: The Ninja World War breaks out, Uchiha Madara refuses
When faced with a force stronger than themselves, people who are accustomed to using power do not have the courage to fight for their lives.
Just like the top leaders of Sunagakure, they finally found a way to survive in the gap between Kevin and the other four major ninja villages.
The attack on the Rain Country was just an illusion. Even under special instructions, none of the students taught by the teacher in the Rain Country's school died.
Only one person was seriously injured, and it was all because of Luo Sha's ambition.
He wanted to force out the secret techniques of the Rain Country so that he could qualify to become the Fourth Kazekage.
He even paid some price for this and united some puppet masters and senior ninjas.
But in the end... he failed.
The current arrangement given to him by the Sand Village is to wait for the attitude of the gentleman from the Rain Country.
Luo Sha looked grim as he rushed to the battlefield again. Even at this moment he was still thinking about the scolding from those old immortals who slammed the table.
"team leader?"
"Huh? It's okay."
"They were clearly enemies. There were only five adults left. Everyone knew something bad must have happened that day. You were thinking about the village, but in the end..."
Luo Sha interrupted him: "Stop talking. Our current mission is to go to war with Konoha. The disappearance of Kazekage-sama is an assassination by Konoha. We must take revenge."
……
At this time, on the morning of the second day after Sunagakure attacked the Konoha border, Konoha urgently dispatched troops to support the border.
The Fire Country Daimyo Prefecture also continued to provide material support at regular intervals.
In the Hokage Building, the issue of war deployment has not yet been concluded, and the communications department will issue orders to the ninja team.
But about the Rain Country...
"It's likely... that Sunagakure is scared."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words stunned the three old partners.
Scared?
As one of the five major ninja villages, even if the Third Kazekage is missing, his power is probably not something that the Rain Village can deal with.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo, then took out an intelligence scroll.
"The Hokage's direct ANBU reconnaissance team followed Tsunade when she left for the Rain Country. There are also spies from the Sand Village and intelligence from the Root."
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's heart suddenly tightened.
At this moment, I can be sure that the look just now was directed at me.
The Hokage still knew the information the Root had.
The intelligence scroll was opened by Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, and soon both of them showed surprise on their faces.
"He went to the Sand Village alone and killed only five people in the high-level meeting of Sand Village. Chiyo's brother Ebizo was killed on the spot..."
"Intelligence shows that the man was not seen, but based on the circumstances and speculation at the time, perhaps the so-called gentleman... is unharmed."
The two looked at each other.
Danzo, who said nothing, didn't even look at the scroll.
This information came from his Root. Even at this point, it doesn't need to be thought about to know that after this information was taken out by Hiruzen, the guy who handled it had already been transferred out of the Root.
As for the curse seal...
But he is... the Hokage.
Danzo clenched his hands around the cane, and a flame suddenly erupted in his heart.
Failed again...
He wanted to create a conflict between Konoha and that person, and once the losses increased, he could again ask him to resign.
For Konoha, all sacrifices are worth it.
Only by becoming Hokage can Konoha make great again!
"call……"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people: "Afterwards... the team that followed Tsunade into the Rain Country also received intelligence. Although the conflict was fierce during the five days, no town in the Rain Country was affected during the entire process."
"At the same time... after these days of investigation, none of the students in that gentleman's school were injured or killed. Those targeted by the Sand Village ninjas were all ninjas from the Rain Village."
"Perhaps even so, they are worried about being taken out on others. There was much thunder but little rain. Even the Rain Ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village didn't have many deaths."
After the words were spoken, the two consultants understood.
This is for the other four major ninja villages to see.
The simultaneous attack on Konoha was, to a certain extent, because they had to demonstrate their strength. Only by not being underestimated and making the other four major ninja villages wary again, could they avoid the fate of being eaten first.
"So the reason why the sneak attack was so fierce at the beginning was to show that they were not weak..."
Mitomon En said with a slightly condensed look: "This is treating us Konoha as a soft persimmon. If this is the case, we also need to show our strength."
Utatane Koharu: "Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure all need to be on guard. The war is approaching. If..."
The rest of the words were not said, but everyone understood.
Avoiding being besieged is Konoha's top priority.
……
At the same time, the Third Ninja World War officially broke out when the Sand Village launched a surprise attack on the border of the Fire Country due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
At the same time, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also made preparations and sent a large number of ninjas to the border, ready to act according to the circumstances.
At this time, the Land of Rain seemed to have become a place forgotten by everyone, and none of the five major ninja villages used it as a battlefield.
Iwagakure Village of Earth Country.
Ohnoki had just assembled the senior ninja squad and issued an order to stand by at the border, while also arranging a series of supply issues.
At this time, everyone left. Huang Tu, as his son, asked, "They don't even dare to touch the Hidden Rain Village. The strength of the Hidden Sand Village is obvious at this time. Why don't you attack the Hidden Sand Village?"
Ohnoki looked up and said, "It's good to think of this, but intelligence is just intelligence after all. If you want to analyze more from the intelligence, you still have a lot to learn."
As he spoke, Oonoki spread out a map.
He pointed to the location of the Wind Country and said, "First of all, the Wind Country is so poor that they can barely afford to wear pants. What's the point of fighting them? Even if we win, there will be no compensation because they can't afford it!"
"Second point……"
The information scroll about Sand Village was taken out.
"Red thunder roared, and there was panic. Most of the Genin and Chunin fell unconscious. Then a large number of members of the high-level meeting disappeared, and it was sensed that a battle had broken out in the meeting room."
"Why do you think...they don't dare to touch the Rain Country?"
"The only thing I can think of that can easily sneak into the Sunagakure high-level meeting room is... Space-time Ninjutsu. The second Hokage of Konoha, the younger brother of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama, based on his past information, that jutsu called Flying Thunder God can do this."
"Information shows that... Ebizo escaped to the Land of Rain. If the coordinates of the technique fall on him, then everything makes sense."
After he finished speaking, Huang Tu frowned.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "If Tobirama Senju can be killed, then the intruder, the so-called gentleman in the Rain Country intelligence records, should be able to be killed as well. Sand Village..."
Before he could finish his words, Ohnoki shook his head.
"you are wrong."
"This is also the difference between Konoha and Amegakure. Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages, and was even the strongest ninja village at one time."
At this point, Ohnoki once again recalled the past long ago.
At that time, he and the Second Hokage went to Konoha together, and he had hope because of the words of the First Hokage, but it was shattered in front of that man.
In a world like this...only strength is above all else.
After exhaling, Ohnoki handed the intelligence scroll to Huang Tu: "Think more and think more, and only when you figure it out can you be considered to have the ability to protect the village."...
Two months passed, and the conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha continued to intensify.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, and the River Country became the main battlefield for both sides. Towns and villages were affected, and wailing could be heard from the collapsed houses.
It was also at this time that Iwagakure and Kumogakure simultaneously declared war on Konoha and launched a sneak attack.
However, Konoha, having learned from previous experience, was well prepared. Tsunade was sent to the border to meet the Sand Village and fought with old lady Chiyo several times. Jiraiya led the team to meet the Kumo Village, and his disciple Minato Namikaze was among them.
On the other hand, Iwagakure drew top-level combat forces from various families to resist.
……
Late at night, in the No. 1 School of the Rain Country.
Kevin opened the door and looked at the figure in the heavy rain.
"come in."
Naoki walked in soaking wet, but the temperature of his body taken away by the rain was not as cold as his face.
A towel was thrown over very quickly. Naoki heard it and stretched out his right hand.
But due to imbalance, the towel fell to the ground.
He was staring at the towel on the ground, his hands clenched so tightly that it even embedded into his palms.
Strands of blood oozed out.
"Pick it up and wipe it. If you have nothing else to do, go back to sleep. Or if you have anything you want to ask me, as a teacher I will tell you everything I know."
Kevin sat down and waited for the student.
After a while, Naoki picked up the towel and knelt on the ground: "Sir..."
Tears couldn't stop falling.
"I can't..."
"What else?"
Kevin's voice was calm: "Many of the students in the second term of the academy will focus on teaching, and you can do the same."
"So you're unwilling?"
"People have all kinds of personalities. Some want to rely mainly on force and become weapons in the hands of the revolution. Some are more thoughtful and want to become weapons in the revolution's ideology."
Naoki's trembling body calmed down, but the knuckles of his hands were still white.
"Sir...I was wrong."
Kevin shook his head slightly: "You don't understand where you are wrong. People have different minds. I have never opposed you to realize our common ideals in your own way."
"Naoki..."
"What I have taught you all along is that the spiritual will determines the awakening of domineering. In battle after battle, the firmness of the spiritual will determines the strength of the domineering."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin's hand was already on his shoulder.
The two disappeared, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived at School No. 16 in the Rain Country.
"Wash yourself up and think about it. If your will is broken, then it really proves that you are not firm."
……
Kevin returned to the school again and looked somewhere in the courtyard.
The heavy rain has subsided a lot, but water drops are still falling from the eaves.
Kevin waved his hand and said, "I won't kill you this time. Come over and have a chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white head emerged from the ground, quickly stood up and trotted over.
"Sir, sir... I really can't hold it back any longer. Don't kill me this time. If you want to kill me, wait until I finish talking before you do it, okay?"
"No, I will wait until you answer me."
"Sir, you are very knowledgeable and will surely be able to answer my questions..."
A lot of nonsense, never getting to the point.
Kevin thought about it and slapped him away: "Uchiha Madara should not be dead at this time, let him come over and sit with us if he is free."
Bai Zetsu, who landed in mid-air, exclaimed: "Sir, do you know the feeling of having a bowel movement? The feeling of having a bowel movement!!"
The calls faded away, and Kevin turned back to his office.
……
At the same time, deep underground.
A white Zetsu poked out from underground: "That gentleman wants you to meet him and pass the message through the clone I arranged."
The old and weak Uchiha Madara opened his eyes: "Where is the clone?"
White Zetsu replied: "According to intelligence analysis, that guy is very likely to have mastered space-time ninjutsu, so the clone was placed far away."
The black substance condensed, and Black Zetsu smiled and said, "Well done, that guy was able to get here in an instant. The time and space ninjutsu he mastered is more powerful than that of Senju Tobirama."
Uchiha Madara: "Meeting... With this body, I'm afraid he will kill me directly. But he can easily reveal my identity, and I'm not that old..."
Madara looked at White Zetsu and said, "Konoha's surveillance must continue. That child will be an important part of the Moon Eye Project."
White Zetsu: "Don't worry, that guy was watching me even when I went to the toilet. If a war breaks out between the five major ninja villages, we will be able to make arrangements easily."
Uchiha Madara, who was sitting in his seat, raised his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the ground, looking directly at the moon hanging in the sky.
"The deeper the bond, the greater the chance of awakening the Mangekyō. At the same time... the hatred that comes with it becomes more profound, and the desire for peace becomes more persistent."
"That child's talent will become an important part of the Moon Eye Project, and an important part of this world."
"As for the gentleman from the Rain Country..."
"Even if he has the power, he will eventually face reality. At that time... tell him the truth."
"For the sake of world peace and the end of war, everyone can be their own protagonist, and he will also be one of our helpers."
Uchiha Madara recalled the appearance of Hashirama Senju.
"It turns out you were wrong."
He didn't care about his identity being known by the gentleman from the Rain Country, because after disappearing for so many years, his existence itself was a legend.
No one would believe that Uchiha Madara was still alive, and that person couldn't be found here.
Wait for him to fail, wait for his beliefs to collapse in reality, that's when it's time to meet.
……
Another two months passed, and Kevin did not find White Zetsu or Black Zetsu who had been looking for his mother for thousands of years.
It seems that Uchiha Madara refused.
At this point in time, Uchiha Madara's body was so old that he was close to death, so it was normal for him not to come.
"gentlemen."
"Ah."
Orochimaru's voice sounded: "After the second batch of students graduate, the population of Rain Country will not need so many schools."
